THE DISPLAY & THE MENUS

The display allows menu selections to be viewed and selected. These selections

instruct the SMART3 to perform specifi c tasks. The menus are viewed in the

display using two general formats that are followed from one menu to the next.

Each menu is a list of choices or selections.
The display has a header line at the top and a footer line at the bottom. The

header displays the title of the current menu. The footer line displays the time

and the date, the data logger status and the battery status. The menu selection

window is in the middle of the display between the header and the footer.
The menu selection window displays information in two general formats. In the

fi rst format only menu selections are displayed. Up to 4 lines of menu selections

may be displayed. If more selections are available they can be viewed by

pressing the arrow buttons

to scroll the other menu selections into

the menu selection window. Think of the menu selections as a vertical list in

the display that moves up or down each time an arrow button

pressed. Some menus in the SMART3 are looping menus. The top and bottom

menu choices are connected in a loop. Scrolling down past the bottom of the

menu will lead to the top of the menu. Scrolling up past the top of the menu will

lead to the bottom of the menu.

A black bar will indicate the menu choice. As the menu is scrolled through, the

black bar will highlight different menu choices. Pressing the

ENTER

button will

select the menu choice that is indicated by the black bar.
In the second format the menu choice window takes advantage of the graphical

capabilities of the display. Large format graphic information, such as test results

or error messages or the LaMotte logo is displayed. The top two lines of the

display are used to display information in a large, easy to read format. The

menus work in the same way as previously described but two lines of the menu

are visible at the bottom of the display.
